—
If I did that, then there would be little chance of Dietrich’s darkness meter increasing.
“I’ll be going now. I need to wash and change my clothes.”
I gently grasped Dietrich’s sleeve between my thumb and index finger and made a graceful exit.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“Was there really no problem?”
“……”
Should I just tell him that something was wrong?
It might be okay to let him know that these people were actually bad.
‘No. It’s better they don’t know.’
It’s better not to tell Dietrich about their true nature until they die.
Let’s not give Dietrich a reason to worry, whether he believes it or not.
“…It’s nothing.”
Strangely, Dietrich’s face darkened upon hearing that.
He seemed displeased, as if something was bothering him.
“What’s wrong, Dietrich?”
“I’ll ask again. Was there really no problem?”
Why was he acting like this now?
I was confused, not understanding his intentions.
“What would you have done if there was?”
“What did they do to you?”
From the way he spoke, it seemed like he was ready to overturn everything. But knowing him, I didn’t harbor any unnecessary expectations.
“Really, nothing happened.”
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t help.
And why does he doubt without seeing anything?
Did he think my appearance was too much of a mess?
After staring at me for a while, Dietrich sighed.
“You know, you don’t treat me with any particular care.”
…I never mistreated you, though?
“Maybe you should treat them the same way. Don’t bother trying to act differently around them.”
“So, you’re saying I could do bad things to them too?”
“…You know that’s not what I meant.”
It was amusing, him always doubting me, yet trying to look out for me in his own way.
It was very much like Dietrich.
This won’t do. To change the subject, I opened my mouth.
“Dietrich, you’re going into the newly opened rooms, right?”
Thinking I should visit the bandits while Dietrich was away, he looked at me.
“Yes, I will be entering.”
But, it’s strange.
His gaze at me was different than usual.
“For your information, you’ll be coming with me.”
“…Huh?”
“I can’t trust what you might do in my absence.”
Wait. That’s really inconvenient.
“Dietrich, I mean…”
“Mean what?”
“Um… I don’t know what might be in the rooms, and it’s a bit scary.”
“Have you been following me around up till now with that attitude?”
Was my lie too flimsy?
“I won’t do anything. I promise.”
“Promises are not made with words, but shown through actions.”
“……”
Yes, fine.
Let’s go, then.
[ The Second Floor Administrator is urging you to carry out you’re your task. ]
“……”
I was baffled upon seeing the system window pop up.
‘A task without any penalties…’
I thought about giving up, but decided not to.

“What, is it already dead?”
“We hardly had any fun with it…”
The bandits lamented over the monster that died too soon.
But they didn’t think about entering another room. They had had their fill of fun with monsters for now.
“Should we capture that woman first?”
Erik spoke first.
Throughout his life, he had seen many women, but none as beautiful as her.
Erik wanted to have his fun with her soon.
“Yeah, sounds fun.”
Hesta joined in on Erik’s suggestion.
Indeed, playing with a human was more enjoyable than a beast. The thrill of seeing the flesh and spirit of an intelligent being tarnished was a delightful experience.
“No, we can’t.”
But Felix objected.
“Why?”
Erik asked sharply, annoyed at his suggestion being rejected.
“I thought of something more fun.”
“More fun?”
“I’m not sure, but it seemed like there was something between that woman and the man. Something… not completely clear.”
“What do you mean?”
“There must be more than meets the eye. How should I put this… It’s like there’s a thin thread connecting them, so frail that it seems it might break at any moment.”
